And what other benefits? did he gave Barrow a successful reserve side or even an u18's side so they would have players coming through for a couple of years at least? answer NO he put all, his financial eggs in the one basket and he dropped them and he could very well have broke the club, he has certainly damaged their reputation if not that of the whole of RL, and that is a role model other RL clubs should adopt??? you know I was thinking that some parts of (just little snippets that is) some of your posts were actually quite well thought out (behind all the juvenile ageist and comments about our town) but now well yes now I am convinced you really are in danger of breaking rule 1.4 of the AUP.'"
What ARE you going on about gramps?
I mentioned that even at Championship level people with large sums of money are willing to put into their RL club despite these unmovable restrictions you think the RFL are tying you down with.. then you start blabbering on about the problems of Barrow.
No one cares what he did or didn't do, the fact was, as stated previously people with money.... are willing to put into RL below SL level.
Wow.. that wasnt so tough now was it |

| Quote: Dico "Its not a contradiction at all you've misunderstood because under the CURRENT system which is what I was in fact praising Barrow got where exactly? Nowhere, their application wasn't considered as they didnt meet the minimum requirements set by the game. But one things for sure, they weren't scratching round debating how they could pay their players.
Regarding the sugar daddy comment, many a time on the VT you've said that in the modern climate you really need a sugar daddy to prop up the clubs. Its not ideal but, exactly as I said about three pages ago, thats the reality.
Rightly or wrongly I believe you to be envious of clubs in a more fortunate position than Leigh yes.'"
No misunderstanding at all , you contradicted yourself , dont pretend you didn't , your credibilty is low enough as it is |

I think you'll find that the problems that have just come to light at Barrow was exactly because they weren't paying their players , if they had been , they would not have been ' found out ' |

How? They didn't do exactly what I said in the first phrase. I think you ought to read it again and again until you grasp the basic concept of "they didn't reach minimum standards because they didn't invest in all aspects of the club".
In the meantime i'm finishing work now and I dont use computers in my leisure time so have fun, take a valium and have a delightful evenings debating, I'm sure Smokey will continue to put you in your place over at the VT.
Unfortunately itsatry it's to the future and clubs like yourselves with your demographic, aren't as it stands now. You need to find a way to get the kids interested or mark my words, your club will die.

| Quote: Dico "Get a grip on yourself.
Leigh et al are struggling because YOU'RE poor, a small village and you appeal to a demographic of working class middle aged fellas. I fail to see why time after time after time you all seem to hold the big bad RFL up as some guy fawkes like creature when the reality for you all is... if you cant afford to eat with the big boys don't. If you cant get the money together then.. dont. Widnes made the step up, hence their promotion.
Stop wanting something for nothing'"
Dico, Leigh isn't a village and it's a bit cheeky labelling us Leigh supporters as working class middle aged fellas. Don't forget just because you dropped out of uni doesn't mean you have a right to call people.  |

Possibly a very good reason why we have P&R ?
Dewsbury maybe felt it would benefit them dropping down a division regrouping (and perhaps winning a lot more games attracting the fans back) before coming back much stronger with better finances or a better plan of attack.
Quite possibly now they could spend another season at the bottom of the league getting beat week in week out which they may feel is more damaging in the long term.

Well surely the RFL shouldn't have a problem with helping us out also....its taking them a while to decide as the meeting with the RFL was last Thursday I think. I'll say it again "Trevor! We need some information"
